Dan Gosling:How to lose friends and alienate people

July 9, 2010
By Ed

Now is the summer of our discontent. Summer is an atrocious time to be an Evertonian. Nails are bitten to the quick, nights are sleepless, and the fevered clamour amongst the gutter press for a full-scale Everton exodus reaches unbearable levels. With Pienaar still flirting with our offer, Arteta a possibility to leave, and...

England: Just Like Watching Brazil

World Cup 2010: England http://twitter.com/dixiessixty Germany 4-1 England. It was an escape from victory not Escape To Victory, a bust rather than Dambusters.   And soon after a stampede of familiar moans charged across the horizon:     “It was because we have a foreign manager” (forgetting how the last English manager performed) “They...

TOP 60 EVERTON PLAYERS: #56 Andy Hinchliffe

 Andy Hinchcliffe (1990-98) Apps 182, Goals 7  Hinchcliffe was our left-footed dead-ball specialist during the nineties. Perhaps not as accomplished the right-footed dead-ball specialist that is still clinging onto the England squad for dear life – but actually more well-rounded. Because of Mr Beckham’s Murdochian stranglehold on football it is easy to think that...

TOP 60 EVERTON PLAYERS: #57 Joe Parkinson

1994-99, 105 apps, 4 goals Everton’s 57th best player (and Bournmouth’s 9th) is another one like Tony Kay who never came anywhere near to fulfilling his potential. Whereas Kay’s career was halted by draconian punishment, Parkinson’s was curtailed by injury – a cartilage tear that “despite operation after operation kept ripping”. Joe ran himself into the...

Top 60 Everton Players: #58 Tony Kay

Tony Kay (1962-64) 57 appearances, 4 goals Tony Kay was Britain’s most expensive footballer when Everton swooped for him in 1962, paying a British record £60,000 for the red-headed wing half. Ponderous players attempting a midfield filibuster were greeted by Kay’s menacing physicality as well as his abundant skill. Harry Catterick, a shrewd judge...

Top 60 Everton Players: #60 THOMAS GRAVESEN

#60. Thomas Gravesen (2000-05, 2007-08) 132 appearances, 11 goals From the beginning of his Everton career, Gravesen set out to get noticed, playing like he should have an exclamation mark grafted onto his surname. The excitable Dane even saw red in one of his first outings, a “friendly” against Blackburn Rovers in 2000, for...

Oi, Hughes! No Means No!

August 14, 2009
By Ed

David Moyes, the man who had the temerity to say no to Mark Hughes, let rip today – and I love him even more for it. According to every news source with a pulse, Moyes has torn “Sparky” a new one for not understanding the word “no”… The Independent’s Paul Walker writes: Moyes, preparing...

The Joleon Question – Three sides to the story

August 13, 2009
By Ed

This was originally published on the Times Fanzine Fanzone Page. And it continues…Lescott wants to leave, Moyes doesn’t want to sell, and Hughes is still returning with bids for the player. The harder Moyes rejects the bids the more the Welshman boomerangs back. Hughes’ bids amount to Chinese Water Torture; an incessant drip –...

Is Lescott Loyal to the Lucre?

July 6, 2009
By Ed

Loyal to the Lucre? Whilst summer rolls into action many Blue websites have been indulging in Evertonians’ favourite warm-weather pastime: Kenwright kvetching. Some anticipate a summer of scraping around for money, missing out on signings, and seeing our Chairman fail – once more – to sell the club. I’m actually glad Kenwright has failed...

We should flog Lescott…For the right price

June 24, 2009
By Ed

Today’s papers are awash with stories of Man City’s latest transfer capers; and apparently Mark Hughes is preparing a bid for our very own Joleon Lescott. It’s midly irritating when the Sun and Mirror are prattling on about players leaving Everton, but it’s a whole different matter when the broadsheets start getting in on...
